Saraphina Sanan Leaves it all Behind

On this episode Brandon, interviews 15 year old recording artist Seraphina Sanan about current topics such as AI and the writers strike. 
Who is Seraphina Sanan?
15-year-old singer/songwriter Seraphina Sanan releases her debut single, “Left It All Behind,” produced by NI Music Group at Sound City Music. The first of six original tracks by the talented young artist (also set to release through NI Music Group), this initial pop-influenced ballad hits hard on the universal theme of relationships gone sour, bridges burned, and lessons learned. In true punk rock fashion, the gifted Chicago Academy for the Arts student adds: “When I burn a bridge, I stand on it to make sure the other person knows I’m burning it down.”  “Left It All Behind” presents a deep dive into the crazy life of an American teenager, chronicling a summertime friendship that fell apart before the start of school and the promise of a new connection lost. The perfect soundtrack for a sunny day highway cruise, the song introduces audiences to Seraphina’s trademark courageous vulnerability expressed through impactful songwriting, along with her signature Queen-inspired sound that meshes beloved genres of rock, pop, and heavy metal. 
“This song was hard to write because the memory is still fresh,” shares Seraphina. “Losing the friendship was tough, but it taught me to stop dealing with fake friends and people who only want to use me.” Introduced to music and songwriting at the age of four, Seraphina spent 11 years honing the straightforward approach and unique sound that represent the perspective of her generation. Her singular melodies quickly caught the ear of industry pros, leading to collaborations with artists like American rapper Twista (produced by Toxic Productions out of Blockhouse Studios in Chicago). Now, the fresh voice of Gen Z draws from real-life experiences to create music that reveals her inner world while sparking vital conversations about the issues and emotions that affect today’s youth.    Discover Seraphina Sanan’s debut single “Left It All Behind,” available on all streaming platforms now plus the music video produced by Twin Voyages filmed on location in the artist’s hometown of Chicago and at Venice Beach. Stay tuned for five bonus tracks set to release this summer, along with five music videos also produced by Twin Voyages.
